I have been feeling really down lately. I am worried that it is going to take FOREVER to find our baby. (Is it just me or does FOREVER seem like a long time?)
Once again, my impatience has reared its ugly head!
I was sitting at home one night this week, with a migraine headache, feeling miserable and I received a text from our previous pastor. He was asking a question about our adoption agency. I answered him and his next text read:
“I know this process is long and can be discouraging. But I also know God’s timing is perfect. I had a good friend say one time “never underestimate the power of the process”. On the day your precious baby arrives at your house I believe you will say “Thank you Lord for this wonderful gift and thank you for what I have become during the time we waited.”
I have read that text message several times a day since I got it. It was exactly what I needed to hear at just the right moment. Thank you Lord for your gentle reminders!
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength
Isaiah 26:3-4 KJV
Dear Heavenly Father, words do not express my thankfulness. Your mighty power is at work in me, transforming me, renewing my mind. I am thankful Lord for everything that You allow to cross my path. Thankful for the decisions that You allow me to make and the lessons that come from these decisions. In Jesus name, Amen.
